About us

Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) are local units of government that manage natural resource programs at the local level

Districts work in urban and rural settings with landowners and other units of government to carry out programs for the conservation and enhancement of soil, water and other natural resources.
Each SWCD is governed by a five or seven member Board of Directors. Each director is elected on the Oregon General Election ballot and serves a four year term. The directors oversee the activities and responsibilities of the district, boards, committees and employees as described in ORS 568.210 through 568.933.
